The future of energy in Micheldorf: Successful PV projects implemented
The local energy future is increasingly taking shape as Micheldorf makes significant progress in the use of renewable energy. The market town has been investing in environmentally conscious solutions for years, which have now reached new heights with the implementation of a comprehensive photovoltaic (PV) project in 2024.
The newly installed photovoltaic systems include the elementary school, municipal office and fire department buildings, which overall means an impressive increase in output of over 216 kWp. These sustainable initiatives enable facilities to operate largely self-sufficiently at low light levels. Particularly noteworthy is the installation of a 22 kW storage unit in the municipal office, which also covers electricity needs at night. In crisis situations, the building yard and the fire department are essential contact points, and these measures ensure that they can remain reliable in their function.
Internal energy distribution
A further strategic step to increase efficiency was achieved by adjusting the contract with Netz Oberösterreich. This enables the internal distribution of electricity generated so that surplus energy, for example in summer, can also be used by the elementary school in other community facilities such as the natural adventure pool. Mayor Horst Hufnagl explained: “Our goal is to produce as much electricity as possible and to use it ourselves in order to save costs in the long term.” This project is of great importance for the community as many buildings are older and consume significant electricity. Hufnagl emphasized that this will not be the last investment to further advance energy autonomy.
With these measures, Micheldorf is not only positioning itself as a pioneer in the energy transition, but also showing how a sustainable ecological footprint can be generated through smart investments. The path to an energy-autonomous future has been paved, and the community is ready to follow it consistently.
